The 29th April to 5th May marks the RHS’ annual National Gardening Week 2019. This year the aim is to encourage people to Grow their Own, with the theme of ‘Edible Britain’. Staying true to our motto, ‘Gardening is for Everyone’ we are also looking for ways to make growing easy for everyone.
To join in with National Gardening Week, we’ve picked out three different fruits and veg that we think you’ll love.
Complete Potato Growing Kit
Grow your own spuds for the dinner table on your own patio, with no need for allotments or back-breaking digging. This complete, easy to use kit includes three different varieties of seed potato.

NEW ‘Porthos’ Cherry Bush
We are delighted to introduce this incredible NEW & EXCLUSIVE sweet fruited bush cherry. This represents the biggest cherry breeding breakthrough in decades!
Because of its naturally compact, bush habit, Cherry Porthos produces a heavy crop of tasty cherries from each branch. Therefore, you can pick them easily and from the safety of ground level every summer. From as early as July here in the UK.
The delicious fruits are super sweet and have an old fashioned, mouth-watering flavour. Each totally winter hardy bush will produce up to 5kg (approx. 12lb) of fruit per year once fully established.
